Toyota to offer manual gearbox in next-generation electric cars | Autocar

New system is intended to offer greater involvement in EV sports cars – we drive it

I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

    1. they aren’t
    2. most teams are using a sequential which is basically an auto with flappy paddles or a up down lever. You ain’t using a clutch except to get into first.
    3. because it’s a driving aid and people don’t like that shit. ABS is about the only aids people accept.

    I don’t care if you’re fucking max verstappen, you ain’t shifting faster than a Porsche or Ferrari DCT.
